Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00127
The BLM Utah Raptor Nest Inventory and Monitoring opportunity is a small cooperative agreement intended to build and update on-the-ground information about raptor nesting activity in parts of Utah where future development pressure is likely. The Bureau of Land Management wants a partner to help document where raptors are nesting, whether previously known nests are still active, and where new nests may be occurring, with an emphasis on areas that could see increased infrastructure or land use changes. The central purpose is to strengthen the data the BLM uses for planning and management decisions, especially when evaluating where and how to site projects in ways that reduce conflicts with wildlife.
The core work is field-focused and revolves around two main tasks: relocating and checking historical nest sites (sometimes referred to as eyries) and searching for and documenting new nest locations. By confirming the current status of older records and expanding coverage to find additional nests, the project aims to identify high-use raptor areas and establish stronger baseline conditions across BLM-managed lands. While the announcement notes that the work is not a formal BLM requirement, it is framed as an important continuing effort that helps establish trends over time and improves the quality of information used in higher-level management decisions throughout the state.
A major deliverable is complete, well-organized data submission. The BLM expects the recipient to provide all project source information, including raptor nest/eyrie monitoring data forms, nest location forms, and a digital library of nest photographs. The partner is also expected to compile Field Office-area notebooks or equivalent organized files that include the relevant nest forms, detailed monitoring notes for each nest, and activity reports that explain what work was performed and when. The opportunity also calls for map products such as USGS 7.5-minute maps associated with nest documentation, along with GIS data that can be incorporated into BLM systems. In addition, the BLM requests that all collected information be entered into an established database, indicating that data management and consistency with existing BLM formats and standards are a key part of the effort, not just the field surveys.
The practical management value of the project is tied to development and recreation planning. The BLM explicitly links the need for improved raptor nest data to areas potentially targeted for oil and gas development, solar and wind energy, geothermal resources, transmission infrastructure, and recreation uses. Updated nest status and new nest location information can influence project siting, timing restrictions, buffers, and other mitigation measures by showing where sensitive nesting areas are and how raptors are using the landscape.
